>>Case sensitivity is not an invention of computer science, it is a property of written language.
I was talking about « case sensitivity in computer languages » of course. Some early computers, like Control Data, had only 6 bits character sets with only upper case, so case sensitivity was completely irrelevant in early languages as Fortran and COBOL. C is one of the first languages to introduce case sensitivity in its syntax, and no, it was not an invention, but it was an innovation as I said. C introduced two major concepts: the best was the pointer, the worse was case sensitivity. Just too bad Java kept only the worse. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
